0:00.0	This is episode 2014 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. I'm Mary Meckley and I welcome you to our series this week.
0:12.2	We're focusing on joy, cultivating inner joy all week long. In each episode you are going to discover a meditation technique you can do
0:26.5	to help you cultivate more joy. And if you've been following along with this series,
0:34.3	we are heading toward midweek of the series you may have discovered
0:41.2	that it's kind of hard to give yourself joy sometimes in fact you may feel as

2:54.0	What would make you happy?
2:56.8	You may not have even thought about what makes you happy in a long time.
3:03.1	So this is your week now, this joy series, for you to find joy each day, no matter
